Experience Venice like the venetian live it day by day !
In this pretty apartment with nice view on the rooftops of Venice You can discover the real venetian life. Most of the venetians do not have their house at the Canal Grande. Narrow streets and the neighbours close up to You. Try this unique and fascinating way of living in Venice just a few steps away from the touristic sightseeings.
Rialto bridge and market close up, museum like Ca D’Oro, churches like the fine renaissance church Santa Maria dei Miracoli just round the corner. And for a trip to Murano to admire the glass blowers working, take the vaporetto from the close jetty of Fondamenta Nuove.

We enjoyed our stay in Venice at this cute apartment. It had everything we needed for our stay and was close to cafe's, shops and the vaporetto. Highly recommend!
This place was very comfortable, very clean, and in a great location. We felt safe walking in the evenings. The stairs are a bit tight and steep going up with luggage, but overall a great place. Would stay here again.
Branika is an excellent host. She was kind enough to meet us and lead us through the maze of narrow passages to the apartment. Everything in the apartment was just like the photos.
Nice affordable stay in quiet neighborhood in Venice
Brankica was very communicative, and the place had everything that we needed for our stay. It was very clean. We had some difficulty with check in but were able to communicate with our host to resolve things. This was a great deal, and we would stay here again if it's available if we're in Venice again.

It was very clean and welcoming. We were very pleased with staying here.
One of the things that made this loft apartment stand out for me was the location. It was so easy to get to everywhere I wanted to visit from there! And at the same time, it felt like I was getting a taste of what living in Venice is really like. A wonderful experience.
Brankica was SO helpful, for the months in advance and especially the day of arrival when overheated travelers struggled with a new country and language and new transportation by water bus then walking the narrow streets. Thank you for having someone there to greet us. Location in Cannaregio was great, out of the super busy areas but easy to walk anywhere. Also two great dinner recommendations. We'd do it again gladly.
The apartment had everything we needed. It was in a lovely quiet location but really handy for the vaporetto and a short walk to the Rialto Bridge. We followed Brankica’s recommendation and ate nearby at the Osteria alla Frasca. We had a delicious meal in this lovely small restaurant. We would definitely return.
Brankica was very fast to respond with check in instructions and directions. Victoria was very welcoming upon check in and helped us locate the front door. The property is an easy climb up 2-3 flights of steps which provides nice morning sun and quiet all times of day. The fun cow print and artwork provided lots of character. The kitchen was well stocked with dishwater and pantry staples. The bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is away from the crowds and features a few local restaurants, and the stroll to the active areas of Venice is a great way to transition to the busier areas. The waterbus station is also very close and makes getting to and from the S Lucia train station very easy.
Overall, this is a very cozy, comfortable, and clean Venice getaway for a few nights made for people that want to explore the city on foot.
We loved this apartment, it is close to the popular parts of town but removed enough so that is quiet and relaxing. Check in and out was smooth and communication was excellent. Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to stay in Venice.

After traveling staying in a place like home was a nice peaceful change. The owner was EXTREMELY HELPFUL in giving directions to these two 60 plus travelers to locate the place. Very well located to get to anywhere you need all the while away from the "tourist" area for peace and quiet.
Really enjoyed my stay. The apartment had all the amenities and was comfortable. It was close to transportation and not a far walk to major attractions, but it was far enough away so it was quiet.
If I find myself back in Venice I would definitely stay again and I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Venice.

Cozy and very quiet area in walking distance to historic sites and good dining. I visited for the Biennale and was easily able to walk to and from the Giardini each day. The area right around the apartment is not crowded with tourists at all, making it a very nice place to come back to after a busy day out!
Perfect for our needs. Extremely clean and conveniently near boat shuttle from airport, as well as all of Venice’s sights. Clear directions and easy to find. We appreciated being able to drop our bags early.
Great location. Clean and Cozy. Highly recommend.
We were celebrating our anniversary and our Host left us a special treat as a gift. So kind and thoughtful.
Thank you!!!
We felt so cozy and comfortable in this apartment. The host gave us great advice to purchase a vaporetto pass for the week.. best decision! We saw so much while in Venice!
Great location very close to grocery store and vaporetto.

Nice apartment in a great location. About a :15 min walk to most sights, or :05 min to the nearest vaporetto dock. It was clean and comfortable and Brankica was a great host.
You do need to be judicious about opening the windows at night as there are some pesky mosquitoes.
Overall very nice.
This apartment was so well stocked with kitchen ware!
I loved the many purple utensils and the cow print refrigerator!! The location was also perfect! I even loved taking the garbage out to the trash collectors, they were SO nice!
We also appreciated the host turning on the AC for us. It was warm, and we could not open the windows because of mosquitos. We would have preferred opening the windows to sleep, but you can't avoid nature!
The hosts were incredibly gracious- as soon as they knew when and how we were arriving they sent very detailed directions on how to get to the apartment. The greeting and introduction were great!
The apartment was exactly as pictured online!! Perfect for my new husband and I as we navigated the streets and canals of Venice. We would absolutely stay here again!
